If you've got kids, popsicles are the ultimate summertime treat! Making your own just makes good sense.

Key ingredients
This recipe only uses three simple ingredients:
- blueberries - fresh or frozen
- yogurt - I've used vanilla yogurt, but any flavor or type will work
- lemon - use for zest and juice
Step by step directions
Use a food processor or a blender:
- Place everything into a food processor
- Pulse until smooth
- Pour into popsicle cups
- Freeze
Variations
Make these popsicles your own and add your favorite ingedients!
- Use any type of yogurt - plain, blueberry, lemon, greek, nonfat, or a goat's milk yogurt.
- Use fresh or frozen berries - just add as is. The food processor will mix them up.
- Add orange zest and orange peel instead of lemon.
Tips for making popsicles
- Allow enough time for the popsicles to freeze. Time will vary depending on your freezer and the size of your molds.
- Popsicle molds vary in size. This recipe used ¼ cup capacity molds. Double or triple this recipe as needed.
- Don't overfill your molds. The filling does expand a bit as it freezes.
- Excess filling can be eaten as a smoothie or refrigerated for later.
Recipe FAQs
These should last for up to one month in your freezer. However, they'll still be tasty after that amount of time. They just might become a bit icy, depending on your freezer.
You can still make this fun treat without a mold. Use small paper cups and wooden sticks.
When ready to eat, just peel away the paper cup and enjoy!
